Recall campaigns 6 of 7

25V5720002025-09-03

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V5440002025-08-22

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

A brake fluid leak can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

22V4130002022-06-10

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)

A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.

20V4690002020-08-10

SERVICE BRAKES

A ruptured front brake hose will cause a brake fluid leak, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

19V6320002019-08-29

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist, requiring a greater steering effort, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.

17V1230002017-02-27

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

During deployment, if the air bag does not fully inflate or the cushion detaches, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2016 FORD EDGEs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
